If you're sick of the club scene, the same people, music, you get my drift. Try something new tonight! Head downtown to Bowery Street and check out some of the new bars. If you've never been bar hopping downtown before, I promise you're down for a good time.

ps. There's no need to get all dressed up, just throw on you're summer shorts and and favorite H&M top (this can apply to both men and women LOL) and meet someone new!
Check it out...
John Varvatos315 Bowery, nr. Bleecker St.; 212-358-0315 Varvatos unveils a rock-inspired collection of leather jackets, linen knits, distressed-leather boots, and vintage-band apparel in the storied space that was formerly CBGB. The famed punk venue’s stickers and show posters still coat the walls, and records, electric guitars, and seventies-era audio equipment are for sale among the racks of clothes.
Vox Pop308 Bowery, nr. Bleecker St.; 212-260-1600Sander Hicks’s politically-minded bookstore, coffeehouse, and performance space claims its second location within the Bowery Poetry Club, built from 100 percent sustainable materials. The progressive book selection covers politics.
The East Village Yacht Club will be moving down from 1st Street, bringing its cornucopia of sailing paraphernalia and pristine-white couches along for the ride. Also, Bar Apotheke, from mixologist Albert Trummer, will attempt to bring "old Singapore" to the Bowery in mid-summer.
Mannahatta310 Bowery, at Bleecker St.; 212-477-1979 Mannahatta technically isn't new; the populist lounge has been a Bowery staple for years. But when a planned restaurant from the design firm AvroKo bought out its longtime home, Mannahatta packed up its bags and relocated just a few doors down in February. Owner Bill Fresko brought the old wall panels with him, but has otherwise spruced up the new digs with a bar made from Costa Rican wood and art from D.J.-designer Izzy Gold.
King's Cross356 Bowery, nr. 4th St.; 212-388-1655 King's Cross is just downstairs from another newbie, the cocktail lounge Antik. There's no sign outside, so your easiest entrance point is down Antik's passageway—appropriate, considering the basement pub's speakeasy-meets-rec-room vibe. There's plenty in the room to digest, from design flourishes like wrought-iron-legged oak tables to leaden touches like faux gas lamps and flocked wallpaper.

The Bowery Electric327 Bowery, nr. 2nd St.; 212-228-0228 A rock bar in the former Remote Lounge space with a renowned pedigree: Mike Stuto of HiFi and Johnny T and Jesse Malin of Niagara and Black and White are all co-owners. Stuto is framing the place as a protector of that ol' Bowery grime; we're just happy these guys have churned out another solid, pretense-free drinking establishment.
